Your mirror may not be added immediately to our listing and given access to the

87

private distribution point. We add mirrors on an as-needed basis so as not to

88

mirrors. You are more than welcome to peek in #gentoo-mirrors on

90

irc.freenode.org and chat up to see the status of your mirror being added to

91

our official network.
